USB / printer woes
Small home network. Bottom line, trying to get a USB printer working with cups. Right now I'm thinking it's more of a usb problem. USB related dmesg output... uhci0: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xd400-0xd41f at device 11.0 on pci2 uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] uhci0: [ITHREAD] usb0: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 on usb0 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci1: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xd000-0xd01f at device 11.1 on pci2 uhci1: [GIANT-LOCKED] uhci1: [ITHREAD] usb1: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci1 usb1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 on usb1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ehci0: VIA VT6202 USB 2.0 controller mem 0xf200-0xf2ff at device 11.2 on pci2 ehci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ehci0: [ITHREAD] usb2: EHCI version 1.0 usb2: companion controllers, 2 ports each: usb0 usb1 usb2: VIA VT6202 USB 2.0 controller on ehci0 usb2: USB revision 2.0 uhub2: VIA EHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1 on usb2 uhub2: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered when I turn on the printer I get... ulpt0: HP Deskjet 3840, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2 on uhub1 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode Depending on the physical port connected to, it's either uhub0 or uhub1, connecting to usb0 / usb1 both of which are usb revision 1.0. All the information I have says this printer is usb 2.0. Why is it not attaching to ehci0/uhub2/usb2? echo something /dev/ulpt0 results in silence. So does printing a test page from the cups web interface. It's a black hole. Can anybody tell me what's wrong? Would removing ohci/uhci from the kernel force it to connect to the usb 2.0 side of things? tia, Dave. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cups will not read any status information from the printer, but at least it can print. Be warned about unknown side effects. :) Jan

Re: Having trouble getting cups working
On Tuesday 22 April 2008 9:40:16 am Andrew Falanga wrote: HI, I've never actually tried to install cups before and last night decided to give it a try because I was not having much success getting my printer working using the handbook directions. (I got it all setup correctly, obviously something is incorrect but stay with me, and although I could get stuff to print when I did 'cat somefile /dev/lp0' I couldn't get anything to print when I submitted to lpd.) So, I installed cups from ports, and setup my HP LaserJet 4+. All seemed to go well. At first I had a problem with an error, something like unknown application/postscript. Anyway, some digging on the internet revealed that I needed ESP Ghostscript installed. So, I got that and that error went away. Now, however, I still cannot get it to print. When I try to submit the printer test page from the web management interface, it says, network host 'sniper' busy: will retry in X seconds. The URI I'm using for my printer is, lpd://sniper/lj4. The printer is connected to my parallel port and I think this is what I want because the other options are whatever it is that cups calls JetDirect and then IPP and something else. I've just been dealing with the same thing the last day or two. First off, the uri you want is parallel:/dev/lpt0. The advise I was given yesterday was to add the following to /etc/devfs.conf (requires reboot) own lpt0 root:cups perm lpt0 0660 or to... chown /dev/lpt0 root:cups chmod 0660 lpt0 After making that change, the parallel port still wasn't listed as an available device (along with JetDirect, IPP, LPD, etc). I ended up resetting my /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to default and redid the settings. After restarting the cupsd I suddenly had the parallel and usb ports listed. I'm guessing I had a typo in my original setup. HTH. Dave Anyway, if someone could please point me in the correct direction I'd appreciate it greatly.

Install order?
Hello all, I'm very new to FreeBSD, just installed it for the first time maybe a week ago. I've redone it several times since, so feel comfortable in the VERY basics. I've got things like ntp, ftp, and ssh configured, no problem. Not worried about mail. I'm setting this machine up as a local internet test server. I need to get Apache, MySQL and PHP installed, and I'm worried if there's a preferred /required order to get it to work right / at all. FWIW - I've checked the handbook, apache.org, php.net, and mysql.com. I keep feel like I'm going round in circles. Also, I've noticed that some of the port versions on this site are a little newer that in my 6.2 release. Will I have problems installing these instead? Thanks in advance.
